Named by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Asha was one of the eight Namibian cheetahs airlifted to Kuno National Park on September 17. Initial medical examinations immediately after her capture in the wild had shown signs of embryos, though her status remained unclear even after being brought to Kuno in the absence of testing facilities and protocols.Initially, the sign was confusing, as scans done in Asha before she was flown to India revealed signs of embryos; a subsequent blood test was also done before her transfer, which turned out to be negative. After all this testing, forest officials have decided not to go in for any invasive method, fearing it could cause stress.source: India.comGuess what there was to fear of Asha getting stressed, which results in the loss of embryos? Dr. Marker said Asha was pregnant when they captured her. But it was early, and we assumed that she aborted due to the stress. This often happens with cheetahs early in pregnancy, she said.Now, a new member of the Kuno-Palpur National Park is not going to come, just because of the stress on the Asha.I wonder why the life of an animal is not considered to be the same as that of a human, and why she was sent to India from Namibia if there was some probability of her being harmed.Comment down your thoughts below.
